Taking the "Bright Moon Shuttle" in hand, Gu Feng examined it closely. The shuttle's body was smooth as a mirror, with sharp edges. On the side of the cultivation artifact, a line of small characters was engraved: "When the bright moon hangs high, the ultimate yin prevails, traversing the void, slaying enemies effortlessly!"

Gu Feng raised an eyebrow and asked, "What rank is this flying sword?"

"Gifted by the Divine King, of course, it's Heaven Rank!" The gray-robed Immortal Messenger wiped his sweat repeatedly.

A Heaven Rank flying sword! What a treasure!

Gu Feng immediately classified this artifact, gently caressing it, unable to put it down.

Seeing Gu Feng's satisfaction, the gray-robed Immortal Messenger forced a pained smile, took two steps back, and said, "Since Young Friend is pleased, I shall..."

"Don't rush, Immortal Messenger!"

Quickly blocking his path, Gu Feng sneakily circled behind him, inspecting the Immortal Messenger from all angles.

The gray-robed Immortal Messenger felt his scalp tingle, utterly terrified!

Finally, Gu Feng's gaze fell on the four Elemental Infant Realm exotic beasts behind the Immortal Messenger.

"Immortal Messenger!"

"Ah... ah! Here!" The gray-robed Immortal Messenger was so startled he shivered, quickly responding, "What else does Young Friend need, feel free to speak!"

Pointing at one of the exotic beasts wagging its head and tail, Gu Feng rubbed his hands with a smile and said, "Why not gift me one of those beasts that carry people? In the future, when I meet the Divine King, I'll surely put in a good word for you, ensuring your promotion and limitless prospects. How about it?"

The gray-robed Immortal Messenger was both amused and exasperated. He had seen shameless people before, but never someone so relentless!

Without hesitation, he made a decision, immediately instructing a young boy to select the strongest exotic beast and handed the reins over to Gu Feng without a word.

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

"From now on, you'll follow me."

The exotic beast, already intelligent and understanding human speech, had heard the Immortal Messenger's words. Knowing that Gu Feng was favored by the Divine King, it realized that becoming his mount was better than being a beast of burden for life.

It immediately nuzzled Gu Feng affectionately, showing its willingness to submit.

Gently stroking the silver scales of the exotic beast, Gu Feng was thoroughly satisfied.

This was an Elemental Infant Realm exotic beast!

Gu Feng thought to himself, having such a formidable companion was undoubtedly beneficial, and having a mount to travel around the city was truly killing two birds with one stone!

Seeing Gu Feng lost in his own fantasies, the gray-robed Immortal Messenger quickly turned to leave, fearing that if he lingered, Gu Feng might call him back, leaving him with nothing but his undergarments!

"Hurry, hurry! Don't look back!"

Immediately, he called for the young boy, mounted the Immortal carriage, and drove the remaining beasts into the clouds, leaving no trace of dignity or solemnity.

Amidst the chaos and disorder, everything finally settled.

Gu Feng mounted the exotic beast, looked at Gu Huaisheng and the others who had just awakened among the Elders, and shouted, "Everyone heard it, the Divine King has pardoned Virtuous Brother Ye, and the death warrant has been revoked. It was all a misunderstanding, so if there's nothing else, let's disperse, shall we?"

For a moment, there was nothing to say. Gu Huaisheng knew that today's situation was beyond his control. He wanted to make things difficult for Gu Feng, but somehow, this rascal had connections with the Divine King, leaving him with no way to act!

All schemes and plots are meaningless in the face of absolute authority and power!

This is what they call, "One force subdues ten tricks, four ounces move a thousand pounds!"

"Gu Feng..." With eyes like torches, Gu Huaisheng, supported by two Elders, asked, "Does our bet still count?"

"Of course it counts! I, Gu Feng, keep my word, never deceiving anyone! I won't go back on my word!"

With a smirk, Gu Feng proudly replied, "In a year, we'll see who's right!"

"Good!"

Nodding, Gu Huaisheng now placed all his hopes on this bet.

He didn't believe that Gu Feng could advance from the third stage of Qi Refining to the Golden Elixir Realm in just one year!

That's right! He definitely couldn't do it!

Struggling to his feet, with the last bit of obsession in his heart, Gu Huaisheng led his followers and Visiting Scholars away.

Seeing this, the Elders found it dull and also left, riding their sword lights into the distance.

The soldiers of the Chen Long Army began to clean up the battlefield and disperse the crowd, many already preparing to return to their posts and continue their training.

Nalan Yuan gritted his teeth, flew to Gu Feng, and bowed, "Earlier, I offended the Sequence, hoping for your forgiveness. My position is lowly, merely following orders! From now on, I'm willing to follow the Sequence, serving loyally, even at the cost of my life!"

In other words, he was saying, I'm just a soldier, I follow orders, whoever is powerful, I listen to them, you're powerful, so I'll follow you!

Glancing at Nalan Yuan kneeling before him, Gu Feng had already made up his mind and instructed, "Rise, tomorrow at midnight, bring the other two camp governors to meet me at Qiong Feng Pavilion."

Hearing this, Nalan Yuan was overjoyed. He had seen Gu Feng turn the tide and knew that after tonight, Heroic Spirit City would likely belong to Gu Feng. He wanted to pledge allegiance, fearing that Gu Feng might hold a grudge against him, but now it seemed there was no major issue.

He agreed and flew to join the Chen Long Army's ranks, disappearing into the distance.

Gently patting the back of the exotic beast beneath him, Gu Feng rode it across the sky, soon arriving in front of Ye Tianchen.

He dismounted with a smile and said, "How about it? Doesn't this exotic beast look majestic?"

Letting out a long sigh, Ye Tianchen didn't know what to say.

Today, what seemed like a certain death situation was forcibly turned around by Gu Feng.

He was a smart man, and just by observing the Immortal Messenger's attitude towards Gu Feng, he knew that the Divine King's pardon was likely due to Gu Feng. Although this guy might be borrowing the tiger's might, it worked!

As for why the Divine King would do this, even Gu Feng himself might not know!

Only heaven knows!

After a long pause, Ye Tianchen's face flushed slightly, and he repeated his earlier evaluation of Gu Feng.

"Brother Gu is truly a divine being..."
